You know you've played too much Conquests of Longbow when...

... you build your own longbow, and train yourself in archery.

(And if you do this for real ... good f***ing luck. Medieval longbowmen trained since they were 7, albeit with smaller bows to start with. A full-sized longbow is almost 6 feet tall, and requires enormous muscles to string and fire.

I won't even get into the horrendous legal implications of using one of these monsters).

You know you've played way too much Police Quest 4 when ...

*gasp!* You mean, African Americans don't speak with "Jive Talk"? Oh noes! PQ4 lied to me!

(And yes, of course I know they don't. I've never been to America and I still know they don't. It's not as if every black man is an actor on the movie "Shaft").
